There were THREE broadcasts of the Palladium concert in the U.S.A.:
1) the original Starfleet Blair/NBC The Source live satellite radio broadcast on December 31, 1980.
2) The edited NBC The Source NBC 82-6 of Feb. 19, 20, 21 1982 (this show).
3) The edited Captured Live! CL 1283 broadcast on October 10, 1983 (mis-identified by host Perry Stone as being from Providence, Rhode Island).
As I mentioned on Joe Walsh / Dallas show (aired by the Source and King Biscuit), it was unusual for competing networks to carry the same concert. That may explain why the Captured Live! show is chopped up and reordered and claimed to be from another city.
The Source show closely matches the running order of the full live broadcast, but is missing "I'm Not Like Everybody Else," "C'mon Now," and the closing number "Superman."
The Captured Live! version is missing "I'm Not Like Everybody Else" and "Give The People What They Want" but includes "C'mon Now" and "Superman." The Captured Live! version, though, re-orders the tracks so that it bears no obvious relation to the two other versions.
The broadcast was fraught with drama. Starfleet Blair originally intended to broadcast the Allman Brothers, but their manager Steve Masursky insisted New York City be left out of the broadcast because the New York affiliate was WPLJ, and the Allmans were loyal to Scott Muni at WNEW.
So Starfleet Blair signed up the Kinks instead. Three weeks before the show Ray Davies insisted Starfleet not broadcast in New York, Boston, and L.A. and Starfleet threatened a lawsuit. The Kinks management kicked in money to help cover the national advertising revenue lost, and show went on...but not in New York, Boston, or Los Angeles.
There's a bit of irony in not running the Allman Brothers minus New York but ending up running the Kinks minus New York, Boston, and Los Angeles, but that's show biz for ya.
Even more ironic is the live broadcast boosted sales of the Kinks then current album, "One For The Road," from "3,000 units per week before Christmas to 9,000 a week after the concert." Sales before Christmas are normally very strong due to holiday gift-giving, so tripling sales is a big deal. How many sales did Ray miss by cutting out a quarter of the national radio audience?
The show was also taped and given to BBC Radio One in England, and also to radio services in the Netherlands and Germany.
A bootleg of this named "Another One For The Road" was issued in Europe in 1997. It's missing six tracks as compared to the full original broadcast.
And can any of Our Beloved Audience provide some details on "Mateus At The Palladium?" That's printed on the ticket, and the entertainment listing says "Bring your own Mateus." My guess is the winery was a sponsor of the shows.

As usual, I've got a bunch of junk for you to wade through (or delete!) in the artwork file, including an article on how Starfleet Blair did their broadcasts (that's three pdf files), plus the cue sheets, disc labels, a ticket, and Billboard
